This study was investigated to demonstrate the efficient hypobaric & hypoxic training type. After the long-term training period, oxygen uptake during the submaximal and maximal treadmill incremental exercise, oxygen transport ability of the blood, and effects on game record among groups were compared and analyzed. 23 male and female high school elite runners were divided into two experimental groups and one control group according to training types. That was, 1) living high training high(H.H) group(n=8) which were training at 2,000m and sleeping at 3,000m. 2) living high training sea level(H.S) group(n=8) which were training at sea level and sleeping at 3,000m. 3) living and training sea level(S.S) group(n=7) which were training and sleeping at sea level, control group. After 5~6 weeks training(70% maximal oxygen uptake(VO2max) four times/wk) and sleeping(8hr/day), oxygen uptake(by treadmill graded submaximal and maximal exercise test), oxygen transporting capacity and effects on time records were investigated. Results were as follows. 1. There was no significant difference on body composition according to training types or test time. 2.. During graded submaximal exercise tests, heart rate and blood lactate concentration was significantly low but there was no significant difference according to training types or test time. During graded submaximal exercise tests, maximal oxygen uptake was high but there was no significant difference according to training types or test time. 3. There was no significant difference on red blood cell(RBC), hematocrit(Hct), hemoglobin(Hb) concentration according to training period increase or training types or test time. In the incipient stage, erythropoietin(EPO) was significantly increased, but 2,3-diphosphoglycerate(DPG) was significantly decreased. In the last stage, EPO was changed a little, but 2,3-DPG was significantly increased. 4. In hypobaric hypoxic environment, heart rate was decrease as time goes by. Especially during sleeping, there was significantly decrease after 3 weeks. 5. Ten-kilometer time were improved in H.H group and S.S group and there was a significant difference according to covariates. As a result, active hypobaric hypoxic acclimation is not more efficient than passive acclimation to aerobic performance.
